Molecular Insights into Gelation of Di-Fmoc-l-Lysine in Organic Solvent-Water Mixtures.
Article in ACS omega, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite significant interest in molecular gels due to their intriguing structure formation through self-assembly and their stimuli-responsive behavior, our understanding of the gel formation mechanism of a low-molecular-weight gelator (LMWG) is incomplete. Here, we report a combined experimental and computational study on a LMWG, di-Fmoc-l-lysine, that has two aromatic moieties and multiple hydrogen bond donors and acceptors. Gelation in various organic solvent-water mixtures was obtained through the solvent-triggered technique. We show that an approach based on approximate cohesive energy density derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations can capture the experimental solubility trend of LMWGs in different organic solvents. Furthermore, DFT calculations indicate parallel and helical structures to be the preferred structural motifs for gelator dimers. We believe that these motifs can potentially lead to fiber formation as observed with microscopy. Our work provides a relatively simple yet effective approach to quantify interactions between solvents and complex gelators that can help rationalize solubility and gelation behavior.
